Church to hold fashion parade and spring fete

The Uniting Church on the Peninsula will hold a fashion parade and a spring fete this month.

The fashion parade will be held in the Ettalong Uniting Church Hall, on Wednesday, November 2, from 1:15pm.

The parade will feature clothing from local store Sarongs and will be followed by "the usual wonderful afternoon tea," according to organiser Ms Annette Strong.

The spring fete will be held at the Umina Uniting Church on Saturday, November 19, at 8am "with the usual well stocked stalls, mouth-watering Devonshire Teas and entertainment by the Brisbane Water Brass Band," Ms Strong said.

"Proceeds from both these functions will assist the property committees with cleaning and maintenance of the buildings," she said.

"Early in October, there was a wonderful Harvest Festival Service and the congregation donated lots of tinned and fresh food which made a wonderful display for the service.

"It was packed and delivered to Mary Macs' Kitchen where it was very gratefully received.

"In August there was a community outreach Pleasant Saturday Afternoon to which the community was invited.

"Entertainment was provided by the Gosford Musical Society Minstrel Group.

"A very pleasing amount was raised for the wonderful work done by Coast Shelter," she said.
